Inventor W @0170 i Attomgy Patented Get. 1, 192? UNITED STATES ARTHUR W. LYONS, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND OIL STOVE Application filed April 24, 1928. Serial No. 272,391.

The present invention relates to an oil stove and has for its prime object to provide a structure comprising a heating drum disposed above an oil burner and means inside of the drum for distributing or deflecting the heat toward the drum. Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision, in a stove of this nature, of means at the top of the drum, for retaining the heat therein or allowing the same to escape freely therefrom.

A further very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a stove of this nature having a heating drumabove an oil burner, with rods extending therethrough and bracing the drum structure, and supporting a deflector in the drum so as to cause the heat to engage with the drum, for properly distributing the heat in a room or the like.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a flange disposed about the drum for further keeping the heat down and distributing the same in the room.

A still further very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a stove of this nature which is-simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stove embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a horizontal transversesection therethrough taken substantially on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view of the deflector, and

Figure 5 is a plan view of an asbestos washer.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 5 indicates a supporting structure having legs 6. A cylindrical casing 7 is disposed to rise from the supporting structure 5 and house a conventional oil burner 8 of preferred construction. A top 9 is hingedly mounted, as at 10, on the cylindrical casing 7, and includes an inverted frusto-conical portion 11, which merges into a depending cylindrical portion 12 surrounding the burner 8.

An asbestos washer 14 is disposed on the frusto conical portions 11 and has a sheet metal washer 15 disposed thereover. An annular flange 16 rises from the cover 5, about the frusto conical portion 11. Rods 17 rise from the cover immediately inside of the flange 16. A centrally enlarged drum 18 merges at, its lower end into a cylindical collar 19 telescoped over the cylindrical flange 16, and at its upper end into a cylindrical extension 20. The drum proper is made in two sections, riveted together, as at 18, the upper section at its lower end merging into an outwardly and downwardly inclined annular flange 21 made integral therewith. 'A hollow inverted pear shaped deflector 22 is provided with a pair of depend ing spaced parallel sleeves 23, extending from the lower intermediate portion of its side wall. The deflector is closed except for apertures through which rods 17 extend and its top face is of greater diameter than its bottom. The structureof such deflector prevents counter-convection currents internal of the drum. The rods 17 extendthrough the sleeves 23 and through the top wall of the deflector. The lower ends of these sleeves rest on the washer 15, thus supporting the deflector above the burner, to cause it to spread the heat out to the sides for heating the drum 18 thoroughly. The cylindrical extension 20 is provided with an annular series of openings 25. A cover 26 is secured on top of the cylindrical extension 20, by means of rivets 27 and the upper ends of the rods 17. This cover 26 is perforated as is indicated at 28 and a perforated disc 29 is rotatable under the cover as indicated at 30 and has a handle extension 31 through has been disclosed in detail merely by way of example, since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

7 It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A device of the class described comprising a supporting structure, a cylindrical casing rising from the supporting structure, a burner in the casing, a cover for the casing having an opening through which the burner projects, rods rising from the cover, a drum rising from the cover about the rods, a hollow closed deflector having spaced parallel sleeves depending downwardly therefrom and resting on the cover, said rods extending through the sleeves and through a portion of the deflector.
